Doja Cat was seen puffing on a cigarette outside of London’s iconic Foyles bookstore on Tuesday.
The musician enjoyed a smoke break despite previously claiming she was ‘nicotine free’ through the help of hypnotherapy, and undergoing tonsil surgery to remove an abscess in 2022.
The Demons singer, 28, dressed casually for the outing, rocking a graphic Dior t-shirt with plaid brown and white shorts.
She completed her look with knee-high black leather boots and carried a matching leather jacket over her arm.
The star was first spotted grabbing lunch before making her way to the world famous bookstore with her entourage.

After perusing the book aisles, she purchased ‘The Nanny’ by Lana Ferguson.
The Nanny is a contemporary romance novel that follows Cassie Evans, who takes a job as a nanny to escape financial hardship.
However she then discovers that the father of the child she’s caring for is a former admirer from her OnlyFans days.
In April of 2023, Doja spoke about smoking nicotine-free vapes during a conversation with Interview Magazine.
‘I haven’t smoked nicotine in like 10 weeks,’ the rapper told the publication.
‘And then Elle just came out with a shoot where I’m smoking a cigarette, but it was when I was smoking. They’ve had these photos in this interview for a thousand years, and now people are like, “Oh my God, she’s smoking again.” But I don’t smoke. I’m nicotine free.’
‘And I love nicotine free vapes. Any zero nicotine vape doesn’t hit, it just feels like you’re breathing and it’s like, “What is this?” It feels pointless. But this thing really feels… It hits, it has the same effect. I also got hypnotherapy.’
‘And it worked, like immediately. I did it and then just didn’t smoke after that, forever,’ she added.

She then explained that she was planning on quitting the vape for a while but said she wouldn’t throw it out when one fans suggested it.
‘Throwing them away just instills panic. I’m addicted but I’m not weak,’ the Woman singer wrote. ‘I was literally staring at my vape today that normally i’d hit a thousand times a day and hit it two times instead. I’ma try to go cold turkey for now but hopefully my brain doesn’t need it at all by then.’
She went on to say that throwing away the vape wouldn’t help because ‘Right now I NEED THEM. I don’t WANT them rn because im in pain. But my brain is addicted to it.’
